Hi Guys, I looked for something to expand the MySQL packetbeat dashboard with no luck so I decided to do it myself 😁 I wrote a new beat that can connect to a MySQL server and ship any result from the queries defined in the config file to elastic/logstash. I've also created a default configuration that reports key metrics from MySQL to elastic and built a dashboard (I avoided graphs that are already covered by packetbeat) - you are all free to use it, the code is on github. > **[adibendahan/mysqlbeat](https://github.com/adibendahan/mysqlbeat)** > > Fully customizable Beat for MySQL server - this beat will ship the results of any query defined in the config file to Elasticsearch. - adibendahan/mysqlbeat ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/2X/c/c3d6c220272d56c22d0cfaff7ea14bf412ddf2e5.png) Enjoy 🙂 ---

Hi @adi.b Great to see one more beat. Please open a PR to also add it to the community beats here: [https://github.com/elastic/beats/blob/master/libbeat/docs/communitybeats.asciidoc](https://github.com/elastic/beats/blob/master/libbeat/docs/communitybeats.asciidoc) I'm sure quite a few people will be interested in this. We are currently working on metricbeat. Part of your MySQL queries is also available there (GLOBAL STATUS): [https://github.com/elastic/beats/tree/master/metricbeat/module/mysql](https://github.com/elastic/beats/tree/master/metricbeat/module/mysql) Your implementation is obviously more generic and allows "all" queries to be fetched. One query I spotted in your config is for the SLAVE STATUS, this could be a very interesting metricset to be added to metricbeat. I'm also happy to see that you seem to have used beat-generator. Let me know if you hit any issues with it. ---

Hi @ruflin I already did a pull request about a week ago with no replay, That's a first for me so maybe I did something wrong? Should I try again? ---

Can you post the link to the PR? I think I totally missed that one. ---
